Problems on the ASUS Eee PC T91 with playing video on YouTube, Vimeo and other video websites where playback would quickly start lagging are reportedly solved by simply using Firefox or Opera instead of Internet Explorer. The CPU still needs to run on full power though, German blog TouchMeMobile reports in a new and exclusive unboxing video of the device. The T91 is expected to be available in retail stores in Germany in September 2009. A translation of the article is available here. [Video and images via TouchMeMobile]

The long-awaited and even longer delayed Asus Eee PC T91 netbook tablet will hit retail stores in the UK this week, Netbook Choice reports from ASUS UK sources. Before it was delayed in distribution due to a logistical mishap. And after that it was delayed to iron out kinks in the interface. Furthermore, the pre-order price at Amazon UK has dropped from GBP 449.00 to GBP 409.00. [Via Netbook Choice]

Asus UK has told Netbook Choice that the Asus Eee PC T91 is delayed again until “late July 2009″: “Whilst still no specific date is being committed too, we were assured that this “late July” timeline was now concrete and they envisaged no more slips. The reason for the delay was being attributed to nailing down the interface and making sure they were 100 percent happy with it before shipping. As this is their first touchscreen net tablet, they cannot afford the negative reaction on an unfinished product. Asus also confirmed that the Eee PC T101 has slipped down the priority list although it’s still on the company’s roadmap.”

An anonymous ASUS insider told AsusTablet.com that the Eee PC T91 is still shipping but is delayed in distribution to the retail channels due to a “logistical mishap” in distribution. The problem is reportedly solved now and the device can be expected in stores from next Monday, the 22nd of June. Reports last week in news channels all around the world mentioned that the T91 would start shipping this week but it still not here. The reasons are now becoming clear. It is one of the many delays the T91 has experienced. This is interesting as other ASUS Eee PC devices have never been delayed as much as this model. This makes us question if there are structural concerns with the Eee PC T91. Is ASUS experiencing problems with the model and delaying it purposely to resolve these before retail availability? We might never know…
